Shing,
How's the fit on their carbon fiber model? I've seen the old alumium dash kit in real life, but I wasn't really thrill about the fit. My factory woodtrim fits with no gaps. It is intallation error or just the way they were cut? I'm thinking about getting the red carbon fiber.

See the issue with the fitment is this. They prototype on a few cars... it may fit on those car well, but the problem is that fitment is nissan cars are not all that well from nissan. There is variations from car to car.

That said, I donno, I mean it's pretty cool.. I don't think it's that bad. I like it. My g/f got a kit for her mustang and it fits well. She got the Carbon kit.

I've got the Joshua Tree carbon fiber kit, good fit and very few gaps and I could have probably done it better if I wasn't rushing. My only complain is that it looks like there are little bubbles forming between the carbon fiber and the clear finish. Anyone else noticed this?

I noticed that with my old kit, I took my time and everything was fine. With my new kit, I rush a little, and there are a couple of corner that's not sticking too well. But I know that's because I didn't prep the surface right.

Last day guys...
remember this is NOT the brushed kit... it's the metal kit.
